In this paper we consider two topological transforms that are popular in applied topology: the Persistent Homology Transform (PHT) and the Euler Characteristic Transform (ECT). Both of these transforms are of interest for their mathematical…

In this paper we define and study signed deficient topological measures and signed topological measures (which generalize signed measures) on locally compact spaces. We prove that a signed deficient topological measure is $\tau$-smooth on…

Splines are central objects for the interpolation of discrete data via piecewise smooth paths. Their iterated-integral signature is an infinite collection of tensors which characterizes paths almost uniquely. We study truncations of this…

Persistence diagrams (PDs), often characterized as sets of death and birth of homology class, have been known for providing a topological representation of a graph structure, which is often useful in machine learning tasks. Prior works rely…

This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…

The path spaces of a directed graph play an important role in the study of graph $\css$. These are topological spaces that were originally constructed using groupoid and inverse semigroup techniques. In this paper, we develop a simple,…

Computational paths treat propositional equality as explicit paths built from labelled deduction steps and rewrite rules. This view originates in work by de Queiroz and collaborators [1] and yields a weak groupoid structure for equality,…

A signed graph is a graph together with an assignment of signs to the edges. A closed walk in a signed graph is said to be positive (negative) if it has an even (odd) number of negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing the signs of…

Topological complexity $\TC{B}$ of a space $B$ is introduced by M. Farber to measure how much complex the space is, which is first considered on a configuration space of a motion planning of a robot arm. We also consider a stronger version…

Topological transforms are parametrized families of topological invariants, which, by analogy with transforms in signal processing, are much more discriminative than single measurements. The first two topological transforms to be defined…

For groups of a topological origin, such as braid groups and mapping class groups, an important source of interesting and highly non-trivial representations is given by their actions on the twisted homology of associated spaces; these are…

We classify all continuous tensor product systems of Hilbert spaces which are ``infinitely divisible" in the sense that they have an associated logarithmic structure. These results are applied to the theory of E_0 semigroups to deduce that…

Three-way dissimilarities are a generalization of (two-way) dissimilarities which can be used to indicate the lack of homogeneity or resemblance between any three objects. Such maps have applications in cluster analysis, and have been used…

A directed space is a topological space $X$ together with a subspace $\vec{P}(X)\subset X^I$ of \emph{directed} paths on $X$. A symmetry of a directed space should therefore respect both the topology of the underlying space and the topology…

Assume that we embed the path $P_n$ as a subgraph of a $2$-dimensional grid, namely, $P_k \times P_l$. Given such an embedding, we consider the ordered set of subpaths $L_1, L_2, \ldots , L_m$ which are maximal straight segments in the…
